Some people have the mistaken belief that only handheld phones pose a threat. We've all seen the drivers who intently study the screen and carefully dial numbers when they should be looking at the road. But the real hazard posed by phone driving is mental, not physical, so hands-free phones don't help. The driver is expending too much brainpower conversing with the person on the other end of the phone and not enough paying attention to the road. These drivers are as much of a threat to you and to your family as a drunk driver.

If the phone rings and you're expecting an important call it's not that time consuming to simply pull over. |
Does that mean that conversing with the other passengers in your car should be banned? Because while the phone is hands free, that's pretty much what you're doing...
